Common Questions and Answers about Swollen glands thigh

swollen

I had been having unprotected sex with my boyfriend and after sex one day, he let me feel a small hard ball (i believe it was a swollen lymph node) between his penis and thigh and said I gave him a disease (which I hadnt , being faithful in the relationship). Later in the relationship, I noticed a small red spot on the bottom side of his penis. It was oval shaped, smaller than a pee and it looked like there was no skin and just red flesh, kind of like a scrape.

It was worse on the right side leg. I´m not really sure if the glands here were swollen, it didn´t really feel that different there.
I also had a slight feeling under the arm pits and a thick fur covering on my tongue a lot of phlegm and a slight sore throat.
It all seemed to be disappearing and getting better but then the other day I suddenly felt the burning sensation in my legs again and which subsided but then it all started under my arm pits and neck.

We are two days into the mystery rash syndrome. Today she is poorly - swollenglands and sore throat, very dehydrated. She had a headache last week but that has gone. She is a student - there has been a case of bacterial meninitis in her block recently but she is showing no sign of stiff neck or ongoing headache. She does not have a significantly raised temperature. Should I just keep closely monitoring or rush to bemused and off duty local GP?

My issue is that the 2 glands on the sides of my throat are swollen, the one inside my chin is swollen, something small and round below my left ear is swollen and something on the outside of my right ear is also swollen. I do not have a fever and I have not vomited at all, which is symptoms of most disorders that have to do with swollen nodes. They do hurt and actually the one below my left ear itches.

And then exposure on the 31st january with ejaculation. Painful neck glands on both sides of neck more so to back of neck. 2 small pea sized non visible previous nodes on left side close to trap muscle for about a year now and 2 lumps on scm muscle slightly tender grape size since january 15th only visible when I turn neck to the left. In march cramping in lower extremities from thigh down .

From the increase and decrease in size, chances are more likely that it is a cyst. Blocked sebaceous glands, swollen hair follicles and excessive testosterone production will cause such cysts.

People often have swollen lymph nodes and a 'slightly' elevated white count w/o knowing it -- you're fighting off an infection, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's an STD.
We live in an environment of microbes and viruses that our body's sophisticated immune system deals with 24/7. Physiology is a truly fascinating subject. So is microbiology. You might consider taking some courses in college.

A few days ago I noticed a sore, reddish swollen lump on my left inner thigh, right along my bikini line. It has since gotten larger (about the size of a nickel, and more elongated now).
It only feels sore if I press on it or rub against it. It seems like a soft lump that moves around with the skin. Last night I applied a warm washcloth to it for about 30 minutes, which made it feel better.
Could this be a swollen lymph node, or maybe an ingrown hair?

I have a lump on my inner thigh and it is about the size of a dime but,it keeps getting smaller then bigger and it is a bit discolored like a purple brown and it hurts only when it rubs on my pants or when i touch it. thanks.

I just wanted to know if it was a side effect of giving the shot in that area. Both glands are a little swollen but the one on the leg I received my shot in is noticeably larger.
Anyone experience this and should I be concerned??
The first injection site was in my stomach and I had a bit of redness around it that is still there. My second shot in the thigh has no redness around the site yet.

Hello,
This kind of bump can be a swollen lymph node,a sebaceous cyst or a lipoma.Lymphadenopathy (swollen lymph nodes) is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection along with other numerous causes.Treatment is usually cold compresses,over the counter anti-inflammatory analgesics(pain killers) like acetaminophen or ibuprofen,antibiotics if cause of infection is suspected to be a bacteria and surgical drainage if there is any abscess formation.

My boyfriend has a lump on his inner thigh. It's about 3 inches from his groin area. It's about the size of a dime, maybe a little bigger. It's hard and under his skin. It first appeared about 5 months ago. It's the same color as his skin. He said it hurt when it first appeared, however now it doesn't hurt unless you touch it a lot. It seems to move when you touch it too. It hasn't seemed to changed size at all. He doesn't have insurance so we are unable to get it checked out.

They do not persist for so long like months or years as they spintaneusly rupture. What you seem to be having for such a long time is sebaceous cysts. Blocked sebaceous glands, swollen hair follicles and excessive testosterone production will cause such cysts.
Generally no treatment is required but they become painful then it means they are infected, then surgical excision by traditional wide excision, minimal excision, and punch biopsy excision may be required.

Treatment includes physical destruction or manual extrusion of the lesions, cryotherapy, and curettage.Sebaceous cysts are swollen, blocked grease glands that look like yellowish pimples. They occur in dozens or more. If they become infected, they can be treated.
No treatment is required for any of these.But if however they start growing in size or become itchy or painful then a dermatologist,s opinion is required.
Hope it helps.

I am worried sick that mine may be swollen as well, but none of the posts I have seen in the Doc's forum answer my question(s) exactly enough for me to sufficiently figure out what is going on with me. I want to know what the swollenglands look like and where they'd be located. I have read that the glands in the groin area are basically in the "crease" where the upper thigh and torso meet, but are there other locations in the groin as well?

just the other day I was using the restroom when I noticed a small lump near my in thigh by my groin. felt a little hard, and i thought it was a zit. but I could not pop it. I have gotten something similar under my armpit, and I left it alone and it went away.

Hello,
From the symptoms it looks like sebaceous cyst. A sebaceous cyst is a closed sac occurring just under the skin which contains a "pasty" or "cheesy" looking substance called keratin. Blocked sebaceous glands, swollen hair follicles and excessive testosterone production will cause such cysts.

Apart from these it can also be a pinched nerve. Since you can feel a swelling, swollen lymph nodes should be ruled out.
Swollen lymph nodes in the groin could be due to STDs (e.g., gonococcal infection, herpes simplex virus, syphilis, chancroid, granuloma inguinale, lymphogranuloma venereum etc), infection in foot, dermatitis in pelvic area, boils in pelvic area etc. Other than this pelvic malignancy and lymphoma could be the other causes. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage.

I have many of the same issues you have and from what I gather it all has to do with blocked pores, oil glands and clogged sweat glands in the groin/inner thighs etc. There are treatments for the boils and I'm with you, they are awful! I get the inner thigh bumps as well and I've heard witch hazel is good- but my first boil came right after I cleaned my inner thighs with an organic astringent so...?

I have had swollenglands (lymph nodes?) in my bikini area for almost a year. Early on I had inquired about this to 3 different drs and all said not to worry about it. Well a year later they are still there and I am having shooting pains in that area and sometimes through my hip and down my thigh. Anyone have similar symptoms and thoughts about causes?
